Liang Qichao

Liang Qichao, one of the most important thinkers of modern China

Liang Qichao’s writings midwifed the birth of a new way of thinking about the Chinese language, and his thinking became the  foundation of Chinese politics in the twentieth century. Though not as famous as some of those later thinkers who stood on his shoulders, like Lu Xun, he is arguably more influential.
